Attachment 2


Business Report 2015

In 2015, slow economic growth in China and languid economic recovery in Europe and the U.S.

subdued the demands of the electronics consumer market. Winbond nevertheless exhibited an

outstanding performance amid a sternly challenging environment with our balanced market

expansion, in-house developed process technologies and the advantage of a flexible production

system. Winbond's stand-alone revenue was NT$30,844 million in 2015, flat with that of 2014; our

consolidated revenue, including those of Nuvoton Technology Corp and other subsidiaries,

amounted to NT$38,350 million, edging up 0.9% compared to the year before. We recorded

stand-alone net earnings of NT$3,291 million and consolidated net earnings of NT$3,473 million,

representing an 8% growth of earnings per share to reach NT$0.9 per share. These outcomes mark a

pattern of steady profit growth.

Market Expansion

Winbond is one of the few companies in the world with design and manufacturing capabilities for

both DRAM and Flash memory. By offering a comprehensive line-up of high-quality products,

Winbond serves the needs of a world-class clientele with excellent services and reliable supply. We

are also a world leading brand of Code Storage Flash memory. The weight of our product lines by

revenue in the three major application markets of computer, consumer electronics and

communications have reached a healthy balance, making up respectively 28%, 28% and 33% of

revenue. We also endeavor to expand the automotive and industrial electronics application markets.

As a result of our longstanding efforts, our revenue from products for applications in those markets

grew from 7% in 2014 to 11% in 2015 as we progress toward the long-term goal of stable

profitability. In terms of product lines, our DRAM products accounted for 64% of our memory

revenue and our flash products accounted for 36% of our memory revenue. With regard to

consolidated revenue, DRAM, Flash memory and logic products contribute respectively 52%, 29%,

and 19% of total revenue.

Product and Technology Development

With a firm belief in the importance of building core technologies with R&D and innovation,

Winbond strives to reinforce our R&D capabilities in process technology and product design. The

focus of tech products has gradually shifted from computers and smart phones to automotive

electronics, IoT and wearable devices. These new applications require reliable, safe and low energy

consuming semiconductor products to facilitate integration and processing, thereby calling for

different technological development goals from those of the past. After years of efforts, the number

of patents obtained by Winbond and Nuvoton Technology has grown to three times as much as that

in 2011. We look for these innovative technologies will meet the future demands of the world.

Production and Manufacturing

As the quantity and density of memory chips embedded in smart electronic products gradually

increase, the functions of system-controlled IC become more powerful. Diverse demands for

memory chips will engender significant opportunities for industry growth. Winbond's monthly

output capacity for 12-inch wafers has exceeded 40,000 pieces in 2015. In the future, Winbond will

maintain our flexible production advantage through prudent capital spending and adequate capacity

allocation.

- 14 -

Future Outlook

We have seen how electronic and information technology continually alters human lifestyles and

improves quality of life throughout forty years of development. We are however also witnessing the

immense pressure population growth and energy consumption is imposing upon the sustainability of

the environment and the Earth. Looking into the future, Winbond will continue to make advances in

product and technology. On the other hand, we will also be utilizing new technologies to create new

business models so as to achieve sustainable operations and show appreciation to our shareholders

for their longstanding support.

The shareholders holding one percent or more of the total number of issued shares of the Company

provided that only one matter shall be allowed in each single proposal. In case a proposal

submitted by shareholder(s) contains more than one matter, such proposal shall not be included in

the agenda of the shareholders meeting. The number of words of a proposal submitted by a

shareholder shall be limited to not more than 300 words, and any proposal containing more than

of Directors of the Company may ignore that proposal.

The Company shall announce the acceptance of shareholders' proposal, the place and the period for

Article 4

Prior to any shareholders meeting, a shareholder may appoint a proxy to attend the meeting by

issuing a power of attorney in the form provided by the Company stating the scope of authorization.

Each shareholder may issue one power of attorney only, and may appoint one person only to serve

shareholders meeting. If two or more written proxies forms are received from a shareholder, the first

one received by the Company shall prevail; unless an explicit statement to revoke the previous

written proxy is made in the proxy which comes later.

After the Company receives the written proxy, in case the shareholder issuing the said proxy intends

to attend the shareholders meeting in person or to exercise his/her/its voting power in writing or by

way of electronic transmission, a proxy rescission notice in writing shall be delivered to the

Company two days prior to the date of the shareholders meeting; otherwise, the voting right

Law, a shareholder shall have one voting right in respect of each share.

The method for exercising the voting right shall be described in the convention notice of the

shareholders meeting if the voting right will be exercised in writing or by way of electronic

transmission. A shareholder who exercises his/her/its voting right at a shareholders meeting in

writing or by way of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have attended the said shareholders

meeting in person, but shall be deemed to have waived his/her/its voting right with respect to any

extemporary motions and any amendments or replacements to the original proposals at the said

shareholders meeting.

- 35 -

In case a shareholder elects to exercise his/her/its voting right in writing or by way of electronic

voting right, deliver a separate declaration of intention to revoke his/her/its previous declaration of

intention made in exercising the voting right under the preceding paragraph. In the absence of a

way of electronic transmission shall prevail. In case a shareholder has exercised his/her/its voting

right in writing or by way of electronic transmission and has also authorized a proxy to attend the

shareholders meeting on his/her/its behalf, then the voting right exercised by the authorized proxy

for the said shareholder shall prevail.

If the Company allows its shareholders to exercise their voting rights in writing or by way of

electronic transmission, the Company shall finish the counting and verification of the votes cast in

writing or by way of electronic transmission before the shareholders meeting.

If the Company allows its shareholders to exercise their voting rights in writing or by way of

sequence of shareholders' speeches.

If any shareholder present at the meeting submits a speech note but does not speak, no speech

proxy, documents of public solicitation and advertisement. Unless otherwise provided by laws and

meeting. The voting right of shareholders shall be calculated according to the voting right that

shareholders may exercise in accordance with the Company Act or the Company’s Articles of

Incorporation.

A motion may be resolve by way of vote, or shall be deemed passed if no objection to the motion is

expressed by all of the shareholders present at the meeting after the solicitation of the chairman,

which shall have the same effect as if it was voted by casting ballots. If there shall be an

amendment or alternative to one motion, the chairman shall combine the amendment or alternative

with the original motion to determine their orders for resolution. In addition, if the proposal

submitted by shareholders according to Article 3 of these Rules is conflicting or amending or

substituting against the proposal of the Board of Directors, the chairman shall combine the proposal

of shareholders with that of the Board of Directors to decide the order for resolution. If any one of
